The High Priestess

The High Priestess

Card II of the Major Arcana

  • Intuition
  • The unspoken

As a yes or no answer:Not yet

Upright

Trust your inner voice. Not everything has been said aloud yet.

The High Priestess sits between two pillars with a scroll half hidden in her robe. Not everything is being said, and not everything needs to be said yet. Your intuition already knows more than the facts in front of you. Be still, listen inward and notice your dreams and hunches. The answer will come quietly, not through force.

Reversed

You are talking over your own instinct, or something is being kept hidden.

Reversed, The High Priestess shows a gap between what you feel and what you are doing. You may be overriding your gut to please others, or a secret is clouding the picture. Step away from the noise. Ask yourself what you would decide if no one else's opinion mattered.

In love

Upright
There is a deep, unspoken pull here. Let it grow slowly; some feelings are best understood before they are named.
Reversed
Hidden feelings or secrets are creating distance. Gentle honesty will clear the air.

In career and money

Upright
Gather information quietly before you move. Trust your read on people at work.
Reversed
Something is being hidden at work or in a deal. Ask direct questions.
